MILWAUKEE (AP) Jim Colbert and George Johnson, with one major victory between them in 11 combined years on the pro golf tour, survived swirling winds and a four-way challenge Friday to share a one-stroke lead after two rounds in the $125,000 Greater Milwaukee Opea Johnson, one of four first round leaders at 65, came back with a 68 for a nine-under total of 133 over the 6,514 yard, par 71 Tripoli Golf Club course.

Colbert, one down at 66 Thursday, was six under for his first eight holes Friday before settling for 67. Tied at 134 were rookie Billy Ziobro, veterans Rod Funseth and Chuck Courtney and Tom Ulozas, a second year non-exempt player. Ulozas, another of Thursday's co-leaders, blew a chance to tie for the lead when he missed a four-foot putt on his last hole for a bogey. Tor os Bomb mil Portland By Associated Press If the Pacific Coast League's hottest club needed any incentive for pushing to a ninth straight win, it came as the players, watched their leadoff batter topple to the earth after tbeing hit by a pitch. x.

Tucson center fielder Lee Richard caught a fastball on the jaw as the Toros' leadoff batter against Portland. His teammates didn't wait to retaliate, blasted across five runs in that first inning and cruised to a 7-2 triumph Friday. In other games, the Tacoma Twins again found themselves in pitching trouble and were downed 6-3 by Salt Lake; Hawaii battered Albuquerque 10-6, and Phoenix went on an eighth inning binge that toppled Eugene KMC While Richard was being treated by doctors for his swollen jaw, the Toros demonstrated again that their prolonged celler-dweller malady is far from terminal Tucson, struggling with the league's worst record a week ago, has moved steadily toward the 00 mark since then and whacked three games off Albuquerque's Eastern Dvision lead. The Toros' nine hits were more than enough against Portland while pitcher Dave Leisman went the distance for his second straight win after being saddled with four early season losses. Tacoma sent five men to the mound against Sale Lake but failed to find the combination that could thwart the Angels' 11-hit attack.

Salt Lake went ahead for good in the second inning when Jim Hutto scored from third on Rudy Meoli's sacrifice. John Matias knocked in four runs with a homer and a double in the Islanders' victory. Hawaii jumped to a 4-0 lead in the first inning and walloped 12 hits altogether. Colbert and others complained of the wind gusts of up to 20 miles per hour, which were especially tricky late in the day as a thunderstorm broke just after play ended. Still, it took a par 142 total for the low 76 to make the cut.

The other two first day leaders, Bruce Fleisher and Labron Harris Jr. slipped but made the cut Fleisher shot a 72 for a 137 and Harris 73 for 138. Defending champion Dave Eichelberger was still in at 141. Colbert, runner-up for the national collegiate title in 1964 after quitting the Kansas State football team, played the easier back nine first and went 11 under with four birdies and an eagle in five consecutive holes. But he bogeyed three of the next six and scored one over on the front nine.

Colbert, 1969 Monsanto winner, took only 27 putts. Johnson needed 30, saying he needs only improved putting to add a major tour victory to the Azalea satellite meet he won last year. STOLEN BASES D. Nelson, Tex, Campaneris, Oak, 73. PITCHING (7 Decisionsr Kart, MlfUW-J, .133, 2.

Hardware Store Trevino birdied victory over (AP CAMBRIDGE JUNCTION, Mich. (AP) Bobby Unser cranked up his race car at Michigan's International Speedway today with hopes of establishing a new world's closed course speed record. He hoped to exceed 200 miles per hour, a feat accomplished only once before in auto racing. At stake also was the pole position for Sunday's 200-mile event for Indianapolis-type cars of the United States Auto Club championship circuit.

"We might not make 200 m.p.h.," the 38-year-old Unser said Friday after wheeling his Olsonite Eagle around the two-mile oval at an unofficial 195.12 m.p.h. in a warm-up session. "But if the weather is good and there is no wind, I'm sure going to try." The closed course record is 201.104 m.p.h. by Bobby Isaac of Calawba, N.C., in a Dodge stock car. Isaac set the mark during a series of record attempts around the 2.66-mile speedway at Talladega, in 1970.

Isaac also holds the all-time qualifying lap for an auto By Brent Eggers Of The Gazette-Times The Dodgers showed no mercy on the Panthers yesterday in boys baseball as they won handily, 19-0, in a National League Midget game at Garfield Park.

Bill Johnson Bowling Coast Sport Talk Tv Sports If telephone complaints up and down the coast are any criterion, the big problem the past week for sports fans has not been the Democratic Convention or the Dodgers and Giants. It's been the failure of the American Broadcasting Co. to come through with reasonable coverage of the Olympic Trials in Eugene even long after the fact The Olympic Committee apparently was so anxious to grab the tv money that it forgot to suggest that the network: should go ahead and televise something.

Such shows might help boost Interest around the country. The Olympic brass couldn't be very critical of anyone in this mess, of course. The fine print in the contract, which must have gone unread, practically blacked out the Olympics for home movies, NBC, CBS or anything else that moved except what ABC was of a mind to show. That was very little, for some reason. A golf tournament, tennis or, of all things, chess from Reykjavik come to you live, but the Olympic Trials had to be delayed at least a week and then on tenuous standby.

1 A show made up from Olympic Trial film supposedly had a spot on the schedule, but then came the Miami Marathon, a not really surprising interruption. When it will go on now remains a question in many parts of the West. There's the British Open, women's golf, more chess and auto racing that never seems to run down. Later in the summer, the schedule becomes even more hectic. Anticipating all this, Portland disc jockey Barney Keep gave what perhaps could have been the most accurate announcement yet He solemnly proclaimed that the Olympic Trials ABC show would be on the tube as a public service broadcast two weeks after the Olympic Games in Munich.

Tune in and see how our boy got there. The tv sports fan needs some consideration. Dave Kirby, a columnist for the Los Angeles Herald Express, said ABC missed the boat, and neglected the fan again. As long as Miami was taking over and on a Monday night why not put on that great Monday Night Football-crew? It would go something like this. HOWARD COSELL: "Despite a pervasive frenetic fanfare, Miami's peripateUcrUtiral milieu offers insight into the philosophical paradoxes rampant In the democratic system of government of the people DON MEREDITH: "Aw, Hard, ah wish ah could talk cute lak that Ah remember a convention In ma rookie year when we had fourth ballot and 17 states to go FRANK GIFFORD: "Check that We've got 46 pickets, two double-sized banner squaring out into the flat and 72 girls In punt formation.

Check that Cosell: "What a scintillating display of bravery under conditions which could in no measure be described as salubrious." i No doubt about it They would have added much to Miami for the sports fan. Meanwhile, tv hasn't begun to realize all the potential headaches with that chess match. Confusion BOBBY FISCHER doesn't jump in obedience like the Olympic Committee. Too many cameras over his shoulder and he walks out Besides, what do you put on the video when BORIS SPASSKY decides to stare at the board in 10 or more minutes of contemplation? The real mistake might have been made by the tv of ficials who decided this chess match should be marketed for the sports fan. The tv sports fan, busy trying to convert yards to meters for the Olympics, barely out of basketball playoffs and suddenly deluged with tennis, was willing to take it on.

Very few knew a gambit from a pawn, but then it wasn't so long ago not very many of them knew the water depth on a steeplechase course. The chess match appeared to have some possibilities. Our representative, Fischer, was being very difficult, sort of a petulant MUHAMMAD ALL Sounded like a very good pre-match buildup. But it wasn't a buildup. Bobby's like that most of the time.

The JERRY WEST and JOHNNY UNITAS fans were stunned and even the LEO DUROCHER and JOE NAMATH types were tunred off. Furthermore, sports fans, like old-time politicians, want to see the record. Many people had the impression that this was the first meeting between these chess giants of East and West Not so. Bobby had met Boris five times and Bobby's record is 0-3-2. America against the field in the Olympics has better odds than this.

But ABC remains confident despite the nasty telephone calls. It's the network that gave you 5Vi hours air time of U.S. I Open with cameras covering 13 of 18 holes. And sometimes they covered them all so fast that it was like watching home movies. There's really only one big golf tournament that ABC doesn't have this year.

That's the $250,000 Liggett Myers Open and U.S. Professional Match Play Championship. This is a chance for CBS to out-confuse ABC. And they have something to work with. On the last two days the leaders go to match play while the others are intermingled continuing in the stroke play event Some of the head-to-head play of the golfing greats will be exciting but with the medal tournament continuing simultaneously, it's a gamble and another test for the tv sports Sports Illustrated said CBS gambled on ARCHIE BUNKER and won.

"Maybe they ought to let Archie describe the golf action as it unfolds in all those funny directions." The tv sports fan understandably has become confused, sometimes downright punchy, as he stares fixedly at his set hour after hour He thought he wanted Olympic Trials. Tv announcer: "Here's the midsummer feature you've really been waiting for, sports fan that great showdown between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Ottawa Rough Riders!" Sports fan, puzzled: "It is?" several other drivers figured to give the older of the two Albuquerque, N.M., racing brothers a run for the front row. Gordon Johncock, a 5-foot-5 veteran from Hastings, punched out a practice lap at 194.07 m.p.h. in his Gulf-McLaren team car. Mario Andretti, driving one of Pamela Jones' Viceroy Specials, and youthful Swede Savage in a Mitchiner Petroleum Eagle, each topped the 190 m.p.h.

mark. Unser set the Michigan oval's qualifying mark of 193.444 m.p.h. in this same race last year. Meantime, USAC stock car drivers also were to qualify for the 40 starting spots in Sunday's second race of a $100,000 twin bill. Three-time stock car champ Roger McCluskey, 1971 title holder, Butch Hartman, the Unser brothers Bobby and Al, and a comparative newcomer, Jack Bowsher, were expected to battle for the pole position.
